Spilt into two columns

GARCIAJ8
5 - Atom

I am trying to split the data into two columns. I used the "Text To Columns" to separate the data, but it still didn't work. 

 

Data: "00012-34543 - ABCD EFG"

 

When I used the "Text To Column" to split with delimiters being "-" the result was

0001234543 - ABCD EFG

 

What I need help with is separating the data in this format. 

00012-34543ABCD EFG

Hi,@GARCIAJ8 

 

Because your have 2 spaces around in the second '-', so you maybe need regex tool to split that to 2 columns.

Thus, if you have many group to be split by ' - ', you can replace it by '|' , then use Text to Column tool to do it.
